[Ellie rubs, again, pressing the palm of her hand between Glimmer's shoulder blades, bringing it back down again. She misses Dina and JJ and Tommy and Maria... misses Joel. Misses who she used to be.]

Glimmer...

[Ellie pauses, trying to order it in her head. Trying to figure out how she wants to say these things.]

You fucked up.

[She can see it, right there in the impressions of her memories. They hurt so much, and the guilt she carries is so heavy. The fear. Ellie keeps rubbing.]

Bad, even. But there's no changing what's already happened, or the choices you already made. You can't go back and rewrite things. No matter how much you might want to.

[Ellie blinks back the burning feeling in her eyes, lightly gripping her shirt.]

But it's not over yet. Nothing's over yet.
